Apollo - The Greek god of light, civilization and learning, Apollo does not
appear directly in The Libation Bearers, although his influence is strongly
felt. He is represented by his proxy, Pylades. It is Apollo who sends an
oracle to Orestes that orders

him to keep certain things hidden and bring other things to light. In effect,
they ask Hermes to make sure that Clytamnestra and Aigisthos do not
recognize the truth before it is too late.
Furies - The ancient spirits of vengeance, the Furies ensure that

Orestes and Electra engage in wishful thinking about how their father

Many years after king Agamemnon's murder at the hands of his wife
Clytamnestra and her lover Aigisthos, his son Orestes returns home with
Pylades to mourn at his grave. Orestes has been living in exile and has
come back to Argos in secret, sent by an orac

after he kills Clytamnestra. The chorus hopes all along that the cycle of
bloodshed might end with Orestes, but concedes at the end that blood
can only bring more blood. However, there

and personal harmony could arise out of the primitive savagery of past
wars. It is in this context that Aeschylus, at the age of sixty-seven and

Cassandra's fate-to be a prophetess whom no one believes-makes her a
figure of terrible pity. She has the foresight that the Chorus and the rest

her; the Chorus fails to understand h

does the Chorus, and all of Argos, submit to a husband- murderer, a
blustering braggart and his group of thugs? The Chorus repeatedly
threatens to exile or execute the adulterous coupl

Commentary of Lines 1577-1673
Many versions of Agamemnon's story circulated in Aeschylus' time. In
some, Aegisthus, not Clytemnestra, stabs the King.

Edith Hamilton, author of the classic text Mythology, writes, "remorse
will never touch her."
When addressing the ethical legitimacy of Clytemnestra's actions, we
should remember that Aeschylus was building a three-part story, of
which Agamemnon is only t

blessing to see with god- gifted eyes if they behold only suffering and loss.
Better, Cassandra realizes, to have those eyes closed forever.
